FII Flows and Indian Equity Market Performance

Abstract

This study mainly focuses on the FII flows in India and its impact on Indian equity market viz. BSE, NSE and S&P CNX 500. The data used for the study is secondary in nature. The study period is 10 years i.e., from 2001 to 2010. Literature collection and review helps the researcher to get the knowledge on the research topic and proceedings. Research design used in the study is analytical research and the statistical tools used are Correlation, Regression and Simple percentage. The study shows that there is a positive relationship between the FII flows and Indian equity market performance but the impact is not significant. This makes the researcher to conclude that Indian equity market performance is not only depending upon FIIs but also other unexplained factors like domestic investors, inflation, interest rate, government policy etc.
